Thanks for your answers, Walter and Edward!
I've written an email to First Mile Solutions, waiting for their reply 
now. Their web page already contained some pointers and even some 
material (photos and descriptions of Sneakernet equipment) I can use.

It's the original title, not mine. :)

I couldn't help snickering at some part of the topic presentation, since
